I'm a New South Welshwoman born and bred and we don't have any proper contenders for a rail trail, yet! There are plans afoot in Wagga Wagga and in the Hunter Valley but it's a tough slog to get them up and running.

So when I was traveling through VIC earlier this year I was soooooo taken by the Great Victorian Rail Trail that runs for 134km from Tallarook to Mansfield / Alexandra. I haven't been able to ride the trail myself yet but I did get to cross the impressive bike bridge at Bonnie Doon. During my time in the area I did see a number of riders out on the trail but we were told that it was already too cold by the time we visited for the bike riders. Maybe I'll be able to get back for the Mega in Alexandra in 2017 for a ride?
